Touchstone Electric was called to perform a comprehensive electrical diagnostic for a home in Charlotte, NC. Our technician methodically inspected and tested the electrical system to pinpoint faults, verify safe operation, and outline the right next steps to restore reliability. This service focused on thorough troubleshooting to identify root causes before any repair decisions are made.
Scope of work performed
- Diagnostic (per hour): Inspecting, testing, and analyzing an electrical system to identify and troubleshoot issues. If the visit exceeds 60 minutes, additional diagnostic time may be scheduled and billed accordingly.
Our goal during a diagnostic is to answer the most important questions first: what is happening, where the issue originates, why it is occurring, and how to correct it safely and efficiently.
What our diagnostic included
- Safety-focused visual inspection of accessible equipment, devices, and terminations
- Electrical panel review, breaker condition check, and circuit identification
- Outlet and switch testing, including polarity and grounding verification
- Targeted meter testing for voltage, continuity, and load-related concerns
- Verification and testing of GFCI/AFCI protection where applicable
- Isolation of affected circuits to narrow down source issues
- Documentation of findings with clear, prioritized recommendations
This process ensures any repair that follows is accurate, code-conscious, and cost-effective, reducing repeat issues and unnecessary part replacements.
